Tom,

I found a page that show a picture of the SRT-14 Transmitter.

I got to learn how to Tune it Up while aboard Navy Air Craft Carriers,
and I fell in love with the Rig back in 1960-62.

After seeing what it looked like again on a web page (below) I thought
about Your Service aboard Submarines and wondered what LF and HF
Transmitter was used aboard Your U Boat back then? If You Can.

I have heard that Radiomen on Subs got their Broadcasts on VLF instead
of HF because VLF RF Signals could be received while the Sub was
submerged.

I thought that in the 1960's they probably didn't use VLF or LF to
Send their Message Traffic to Sub Command, but used HF frequencies by
rising the Sub just below the surface and raising the HF Antenna above
the Water Line to pass any messages they had to Send.

Knowing the size of the SRT-14 I wouldn't think there would be any room
for one on a Sub.   ???

Look at the Size and Discription of the SRT-14, SRT-15 and SRT-16 on the
page I found about them and other Navy Gear at:

Thanks and 73
NNNN
